Question

when coal is burned, the sulfur present in coal is converted to sulfur dioxide (SO2) which is responsible for the acid rain phenomenon: S(s)+O2(g) --> SO2(g)
If 3.00 kg of S reacts with oxygen, calculate the volume of SO2 gas (in mL) formed at 30.5degrees C and 1.04 atm. when coal is burned, the sulfur present in coal is converted to sulfur dioxide (SO2) which is responsible for the acid rain phenomenon: S(s)+O2(g) --> SO2(g)

Explanation / Answer

MW of S = 32

mol = mass/MW = 3000/32 = 93.75 mol o fS

if all S turns to SO2, then we have a ratio of 1:1

93.75 mol of SO2 are formed

PV = nRT

V = nRT/P = 93.75*0.082*/30.5+273)/(1.04) =0.024355 L

V = 24.35 ml
